史密斯夫妇是伦敦一对普通又传统的夫妇。二人邀请了马丁夫妇一家和其他朋友来家中做客。交谈中，两家人开着无意义的玩笑，谈诗，他们的交流逐渐演变成了毫无逻辑的故事，人与人正常的交流逐渐不复存在。《秃头歌女》所探讨的内容是人们交流的无意义性。尽管在当下，技术使我们可以与世界另一头的人实时联接，但今天《秃头歌女》中讨论的人们交流的无意义，似乎比过去任何时候都更加真实。

The Smiths are the most common and traditional London couple. They invited another couple, the Martins, over for a visit, joined with other friends. The two families engage in meaningless banter and relating nonsensical poems. Their conversation soon devolved into a series of non-sequiturs with no resemblance to normal conversation. A seminal work in the Theatre of the Absurd,The Bald Soprano is a story about people’s absolute inability to communicate, a topic more relevant today than ever before
